Oil and Water Project

Due to our arrest, we had a really late start getting over the border. We were suppose to meet James Contos in Mexico the night of the 20th in Madera, Mexico. Against all advice, we decided to drive through the night to try and make the deadline. Carnage, after a veg filter went out, we flipped on our jerry-rigged lift pump to re-prime the system. No luck, it was toast, but luckily we had an extra. We replaced the lift pump in the pitch black on the side of a narrow road. We were definitely on the look out for Banditos. We found the problem was in the electrical and we fried our second pump, leaving us stranded with no extra pump. After two hours of monkey wrenching, we were able to do a cold start on our svo system (this is terrible for our injectors and injector pump, but was our only option). We got-er going and made it to Madera at 7am.
